| New 'printone' tool allows users to create 3-D printed wind instruments in any shape or form Posted: 06 Dec 2016 08:13 AM PST A new interactive design tool called 'Printone' has now been developed, which provides users with the ability to create functional 3-D printed wind instruments in any shape or form using interactive sound simulation feedback. The team designed 16 free-form wind instruments to play different melodies. |
| Posted: 06 Dec 2016 06:45 AM PST A lightweight bicycle constructed from abandoned golf clubs bought for just 99p from eBay has been created by a graphic design student in England. The unusual mode of transport was designed to highlight how middle-aged men are swapping the fairway for the cycle lane as the sport's popularity soars. |
| Geophagy: 'Soil-eating' as an addictive behaviour Posted: 05 Dec 2016 05:59 AM PST Between 30 and 80% of people in Africa, especially women, regularly eat clayey soil -- this habit is known as geophagy. They consume between 100 and 400 g per day. The reason behind this habit, which was previously also widespread in Europe and Asia, is still not clear and is largely unresearched. A study has now been able to show that it is a craving. |
| Researchers question if banning of 'killer robots' actually will stop robots from killing Posted: 15 Nov 2016 12:53 PM PST A research team has published a paper that implies that the rush to ban and demonize autonomous weapons or "killer robots" may be a temporary solution, but the actual problem is that society is entering into a situation where systems like these have and will become possible. |
